Not sure, but I know the Veloster uses a dual clutch automatic, unlike other Hyundais which use a regular 6-speed auto. I think Ford has had problems with the dual clutch in the Focus too.
Ha! That 10 yr warranty isn't worth crap if the dealer says the car is fine and refuses to fix anything.
Hyundai needs to get their act together. They made a solid decade of progress in the mid 90's to 2005-2006, but it seems like more and more that they are now cutting corners as much as they can with their cars. I personally think that at the 4-5 year mark, most original owners will have sold and moved on because of all the problems that start popping up.
Hyundai's 10 year warranty is the biggest scam out there. That's how they make their money back, they get poor people to buy their cars thinking it's the cheapest new car and they don't ever have to spend $$ on repairs. Wrong! Because in the fine print their coverage is very shady, engines rarely blow up unless you don't have any gas in it. Most people who had issues with Hyundais typically after the 4th year is when the 10 year warranty stops covering certain parts mainly wear and tear parts like drivetrain and suspension. You bring your car in for repairs and you end up getting a bill of charges and the dealer says those aren't covered and you either pay them or tow your car to a different repair shop. What do you do? Most people just pay the repairs and that's how Hyundais can get you to buy cheaper cars.
A lot of Hyundais have cheaper components that fail quicker and one reason the resale values of some 5 year olds are poor they keep showing up on used car lots.
Anyone who thinks Hyundais are for poor people is simply the ignorant. Warranty coverage does vary by dealer and service manager but I've seen dealers cover repairs on even modified cars without issue. Rest assured that there plenty of Hyundais rolling with 100k+ miles without issue.
Hyundai's had some issues with that DCT. So far they're only using it in the standard Veloster, which should tell you something: they're using a 6 speed automatic in the Veloster Turbo, Accent, Elantra, Forte, Rio, and Soul. I bet when they refresh the model, they switch from the DCT to the regular automatic. Probably should stay clear.

Thanks all, and this post was most helpful. I was considering turbo he has non turbo. I will check CR. I originally was interested in Hyundai several years back because being at loyal Toyota owners, they were less expensive, now they seem almost the same price. I may consider a Scion or Civic SI? instead.
